First I saw this coming a mile away and stated it was coming out when they announced its bigger brother getting the AMD Fusion overhaul.

If priced accordingly, including the fact it has no DVD or Blu-ray drive, it should be around $300 to $375 in price. You get a keyboard/mouse combo and a 22" monitor for $150 and you could have a really nice all-in-one for your parents.
